AI Initiative Incubates The Markup, a New Investigative Journalism Venture Focused on Revealing the Societal Impact of Technology

The Markup, a nonprofit journalism outlet for providing independent analysis of how technology is changing the news ecosystem, officially launched last week. The Ethics and Governance of AI Initiative, a joint project between the Berkman Klein Center and the MIT Media Lab, was the first funder of The Markup, providing an initial seed grant of $750,000 that supported the founding team as they developed the project over this year.
